January's Scrappy Creation Class will be creating 3 beautiful cards using a simple but eye catching technique called embossed resist stamping. Did you know an embossed image will resist ink? To create this pretty lace looking image I embossed the image in clear and then sponged 3 different colors (olive, chocolate and slate) on the image to create this pretty effect. I love how the image popped. The resist technique really showcases the details of this pretty stamp set.

Time goes by way too fast! It seems like it was just yesterday, I was a new mom "learning the ropes," making mistakes and just trying to figure motherhood out. Now I am a mom of 2 school aged childern. How in the world did that happen!

Luckily, I have photos on top of photos to prove that these two children here once little. These photos are precious memories that I love to look back on and remember. Reminiscing always helps me to see that I am so blessed and do have "A Wonderful Life."

I have found scrapbooking to a be hobby that helps me do this. Not only can I showcase my favorite pictures on a layout, but I can also capture special memories and funny/favorite quotes, to always keep thoses memories fresh.

I hope to be able to use this blog as a way to share this hobby with others as well as to share tips I come across along the way that help making crafting fun and not too time consuming. Although, I will mostly share paper crafting, I hope to also include fun "mommy tips" for crafting with kids, birthday parties, fun and easy recipes and just about anything that makes life with kids a little bit easier. Just know there will always something "crafty" here. Crafting just makes me happy!
